BS EN 752 says that drains, sewers and other components shall... minimise the
use of energy over the life of the system. In general, the self-cleansing of drains
and sewers can be achieved with a pipe diameter (D) of less than 300 mm and
with a daily minimum velocity of 0.7 m/s, or with a gradient of at least 1:D.
